I was afraid of that (re: setting browse/retention to 1 day)...
I am trying to figure out the commands and script to perform the manual
expiring of the existing savesets. Rather than expiring them, couldn't they
be just deleted using "nsrmm"?
Here's what I've been testing.
# mminfo -ot -q 'client=client_to_be_deleted' -r ssid | xargs -i nsrmm -v -S
{} -dy
I believe this deletes the media references, however I don't think it
eliminates the index references(?). Am I on the right track with this?
As was suggested, to remove the index directory, specifically you're
referring to (on Solaris) the directory /nsr/client_to_be_deleted, correct?
Can this be deleted while Networker is running, or would/should I shut down
Networker first? I suspect it should be shut first, but not HAVING to shut
it down would be nice too.

savesets and THEN delete the client.
Previously I would set the properties of the client to "Day" for browse
and retention, which is fine, but I'd like to do this without waiting a day.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how best to purge a client from Networker?
To really purge the client, you will need to go out and manually expire
all the existing savesets, and then remove the client definition, and
then remove the index directory. If you change the browse/retention
time to 1 day, that will not change the existing saveset's
browse/retention time -- only new savesets will have the different
browse/retention time.
Sorry....
